Overview

For many people around the world the Great Migration epitomises the ultimate African safari experience and is still one of the quintessential bucket list items that any wildlife and nature enthusiast should tick off of their list at least once. Wildlife photographers also know that the Migration offers incredible photographic opportunities and many portfolios and award winning images have been captured during the annual journey of more than 1.5 million Wildebeest and roughly 500,000 Zebra through the Mara Serengeti ecosystem.

One of the world’s most iconic destinations, the Masai Mara teems with wildlife and is one of the best wildlife photography destinations in the world. During August & September over 2 million animals gather on its plains setting the scene for one of nature’s most incredible spectacles and undoubtedly the best wildlife and photographic experience in Africa.

By combining the exclusivity of the Wild Eye Mara Camp and the passion, knowledge and experience of our team in East Africa, we have taken the Masai Mara experience to a whole new level with this great migration photographic safari, giving you what we believe is the very best great migration photo safari on offer in the Masai Mara.

The adventure begins at Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport at 07:00 in the morning where you will be met and transferred to Wilson Airport for your scenic flight into the Masai Mara departing at around 10:15. A 45 minute flight will see us landing in the heart of the Mara Triangle Conservancy where, upon arrival we will head out in search of the wildlife that roam the plains, returning to camp for lunch unless we should find or hear of any potential river crossings.

Our prime location makes it possible for us to explore the banks of the Mara River at first light and puts us in the perfect position to photograph the massive herds of wildebeest as they build up and ultimately start crossing the Mara River.Usually we enjoy a packed breakfast whilst out on drive, maximizing our time out in the field, before returning to camp for lunch. Each days schedule will be discussed with you by your facilitator over dinner or whilst processing images in the dedicated Media Centre.

On the last morning we will, after our morning safari and breakfast, take a leisurely drive back to camp where there will be time to enjoy lunch and freshen up, before heading to the airstrip from where we will again board a charter plane for the flight back to Nairobi (arriving at 17:00). Upon arrival in Nairobi a short transfer will take us back to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport where the safari comes to an end around 18:00.

About us

Our service offering now includes not only scheduled photographic safaris and custom privately guided safaris but also a general travel consultancy division, as well as photographic courses and workshops.
We’re different to other photographic safaris because every single one of our safaris worldwide is hosted by a full time employed Wild Eye guide. Your travel and photographic experience will never be outsourced. All our guest-centric approach to safaris aim to achieve 3 goals:
1. Send our guests home with a great experience
2. Give our guests new knowledge and skills
3. Provide our guests with amazing photographic opportunities.

Our most popular safaris are our Great Migration and other Kenya based safaris with a number of international destinations also proving increasingly popular. The future of Wild Eye is not only new safari and expedition destinations but also a new take on some of the tried and tested destinations you may have visited before. We are looking at opening an international office in the not too distant future which will allow us to reach more people, create new adventures for our clients and continue to change the way our clients and guests see the world!
